In the solution structure of the ribosome-associated cold shock response protein Yfia of Escherichia coli in the free state two structural segments can be distinguished: a well structured, rigid N-terminal part displaying a betaalphabetabetabetaalpha topology and a flexible C-terminal tail comprising last 20 amino-acid residues. The backbone dynamics of Yfia protein was studied by (15)N nuclear magnetic relaxation at three magnetic fields and analyzed using model-free approach. The overall diffusional tumbling of the N-terminal part is strongly anisotropic with a number of short stretches showing increased mobility either on a subnanosecond time scale, or a micro- to millisecond time scale, or both. In contrast, the unstructured polypeptide chain of the C-terminal part, which cannot be regarded as a rigid structure, shows the predominance of fast local motions over slower ones, both becoming faster closer to the C-terminus.

ABSTRACTWhen subjected to rapid drops of temperature (cold shock), Neurospora responds with a dramatic, but temporary shift in its branching pattern. While the cold shock response has been described morphologically, it has yet to be examined genetically. This project aims to begin the genetic characterization of the cold shock response and the associated acclimatization to cold environments. We report here the results of a screen of mutants from the Neurospora knockout library for alterations in their morphological response to cold shock and thus, their ability to acclimatize to the cold. Three groups of knockouts were selected to be subject to this screen: genes previously suspected to be involved in hyphal development as well as knockouts resulting in morphological changes; transcription factors; and genes homologous to E. coli genes known to alter their expression in response to cold shock. Several strains were identified with altered responses. The genes impacted in these mutants are listed and discussed. A significant percentage (81%) of the knockouts of genes homologous to those previously identified in E. coli showed altered cold shock responses in Neurospora – suggesting that the response in these two organisms is largely shared in common.
